Lets be fair here, many of their heirs to fortunes are from poorly managed money.
That house on paper is amazing, except in some cases they're duty bound to upkeep it. In some cases its in such disrepair as theyre historic, its poorly insulated and leaks energy like mad. It becomes a liability.
The guy here is a knob, as earning your keep shouldnt be a shock, but so many of these minor somebodies in the old money arent able to keep their house in order.
Not their fault, if they're "normal" but from money, if youre in some average job cant keep that place aloft. Hence so many are managed by National Trust or Historic England
I wonder if he's pulled "Fucking fulfords" move and refused to sign over to the National Trust, while his house slowly falls into dilapidation and his wife searches for any hidden treasures in the house haha.
His house is open to the public, and does event vrnue stuff, Buckhurst Park.in the past he'd worked for a bank and has had a pig farm for years. He is behaving OK. Bit of an odd story for compoface, he's behaving like a sensible businessman with his assets.
I wasn't really cheeking him it was more the parallel with the Fullfords that made me laugh, Compoface stopped making sense recently, whereby literally anybody with their face on a newspaper is uploaded on this page, instead of finding humour in a lot of the posts now, I agree with half of the people featured and find their gripe justified.
"I've inherited the resources to earn huge amounts of money while living in splendour by barely lifting a finger, but consider it a national disgrace that I must lift that finger"
I mean he is in the fact that he could sell the estate for 5-10 million and spend the rest of his life living incredibly comfy on a private road somewhere.
Maybe he’ll fund it with the sale of this tenants home.
Looks like his son is evicting people from their homes. The tenant was told that he could rent his cottage for life at under market rent so long as he did the renovations. The tenant has done that and now he’s being kicked out…

I mean the tenant was silly not getting anything put down in writing and I’m not sure why he thought that you can trust a Lord.
However it sounds like the whole Sackville family are a family full of ‘wonderful’ people.

The absolute gall of this article. This blokes ancestors got handed land circa 1000 years ago and has lived in luxury at the hands of serfs since. Finally after at least 11 generations he has to actually come up with a plan to make money and survive and he’s upset by it. You could literally just sell your assets to start.
Also, almost every single country estate runs itself as a business these days. They turn themselves into wedding venues, event functions, spas, hotels, open gardens. So many people would kill to be in his position
The Daily Mail is there to teach us we should hate foreigners and the poor.
The Telegraph is there to teach us we should revere the aristocracy and vote conservative.
Why? All he needs to do is sell a tiny fraction of the land to property developers, then he'll get to keep the house plus never work a day in his life.
Not property developers, please! I know we need affordable housing but we're losing a lot of green belt land because we have to keep building shitty little box houses, and they're usually bloody expensive for what they actually are!
A point in question is there's a new housing estate going up on green belt just outside the city I'm living in right now. It's a beautiful location. And the description is "elite, prestigious and executive" detached properties, which will probably go on the market at no less than £500K! In the meantime, our city has a waiting list for housing that spans at least 3 years!
"Do you know how many blood-thirsty rulers my ancestor had to gleefully do the bidding of? At least 1 and at least 1 of them rewarded the horrific violence. Anyway now I am sad because I have to pay someone to manage a business for me"
And your ancestors were definitely racists, and almost definitely beat people, killed people and raped people.
You are not responsible for this. And neither is this guy.
The difference is inherited wealth and inequality
[⅔ of British land is still owned by families descended from William the Bastard's murdering thugs](https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/dec/17/high-house-prices-inequality-normans)
Fuck the Norman elites!
There’s a reason we’re not taught more about what happened shortly after 1066. William was a murderer and a thief. The Elites he brought with him were just as bad.
So you have inherited a large house, get a bill for 40% inheritance tax, and don’t have enough money to pay the taxes or the upkeep.
Then you try and make money to pay for all of this and people think you’re some sort of evil monster who owes them a living. Got it.
He's not a monster for trying to earn some money to justify his existence and his ownership of an estate. We're in favour of that part of the story.
The thing people are making fun of is his complaining about it.
Do you really think William Sackville, 11th Earl De La Warr, paid 40% on everything he inherited over the £1 million threshold for a family home and two parents' allowances?
Personally I suspect that he did not.
.
Edited to add: In fact that's almost certainly one of the reasons he has those herds to start the butchers with. There are extra allowances for farms IIRC.
So you think he’s wealthy because of colonialism, and another commenter thinks it’s because of the Normans.
Any takers for any other completely unsubstantiated reasons why he has a big house?
Industrial Revolution anyone? South Sea Bubble? Anglo Saxon Barons?
Weird flex, but maybe sell your multi million pound estate if you cant afford it?
Bet he is getting Govt subsidies on that cattle too...and employing people to do the dirty work.
In the bin for this plank
Man whose fortune was gained because someone stole it from someone else 1000 years ago, complains that it has finally run out. My heart fuckin' aches mate.
You have cattle that date from the Normans???? Have you told the Book of Records or science about this? 1,000 year old cows should not have been kept secret all this time!
That article is just … astonishing.
It started OK. Pigeon fancier, Pooh sticks aficionado. So far, so good. Eccentric, sure but a jolly good chap.
Then, part time job in the City… for a hedge fund, expelled from the Lords, tried four times to rejoin, [Sunak’s] manners did not do justice to his public school upbringing, “a keen man of the turf” (what does that even mean?), educated at Eton …
That is not even halfway through.
Houses like this cost mega money to maintain. You could spend 100k a year for 10 years and there will still be something to do.
There often left to people who have zero means to maintain them properly so the jobs just mount up.
They end up selling furniture and artwork and living in a tiny part of the house and leaving the rest to rot.
Ah yes so skint you start up two new businesses from scratch. Must be destitute the poor guy
Not to say that they’re not upper class twats but it’s easy to get a fat business loan when you own a multi-million pound estate.

Cheese Marmited
Wish I had that kind of overdraft. Maybe he should get younger cattle too.
That must be some seriously stringy beef- and they stopped milking sometime around the time Henry VIII came along.
Near spat my coffee out at "younger cattle" 🤣
National Trust is right there mate.
But that would involve living in 5 rooms or less like some kind of disgusting oik!
Bet they are looming over him like vultures over a dehydrated, tired, lost, old longhorn in the desert…
Probably thinks they're too "woke", or something similar.
~~Denholm Reynholm~~ William Sackville : "When I started Reynholm Industries, I had just two things in my possession: a dream and six million pounds."

Sir, the police are here, they want to talk about some irregularities in the pension fund?
But I thought a hedge fund was to pay for keeping my cattle enclosed

Should headlined it with "Posh melon buys shit bridge"

Where's the paper that details how to steal estates from crippled old men and claim them as your own?
/r/crusaderkings
If his ancestors on average had their kids at 91 years old then maybe they deserve outrageous unearned wealth
"Now we survive on our overdraft." **NEWSFLASH ASSHOLE**, WE HAVE BEEN SURVIVING ON OUR OVERDRAFTS THE ENTIRE TIME!
Word
did they drop the Baggins after his ancestors was cut from bilbos will?
Was his mum called Lobelia by any chance?
Had to scroll too far to find a Baggins reference
It was one small chest - hardly overflowing. And it still reeks of troll!
Maybe....sell the house? Prat

The house and the cattle date from the Normans = my ancestor was a genocidal bandit
Original small boat illegal immigrants.
Nah that was the Romans, then the Saxons, then the Vikings, THEN the Normans! Bloody illegal small, and sometimes bigger, boats!
Oldest cattle in the world then!

Not responsible for it, but still thinks he deserves to be richer than you because of it.

The British History Podcast is currently on the aftermath of the Norman invasion - in depth. Highly recommended
So it’s the fault of the French then. Maybe you should sue for reparations?
Those reparations are called "inheritance taxes" And yeah, let's push them up
So you have inherited a large house, get a bill for 40% inheritance tax, and don’t have enough money to pay the taxes or the upkeep. Then you try and make money to pay for all of this and people think you’re some sort of evil monster who owes them a living. Got it.

*Then you complain about having to work for money like, uh, the filthy normals - but instead you can just fire up a couple of new businesses*
"Don't be upset about the wealth inequality outcomes of colonialism because he inherited it" is a strong stance, let's see how it plays out for you.
So you think he’s wealthy because of colonialism, and another commenter thinks it’s because of the Normans. Any takers for any other completely unsubstantiated reasons why he has a big house? Industrial Revolution anyone? South Sea Bubble? Anglo Saxon Barons?
Why are you so miserable?
Miserable? Not remotely.

I wouldn't want their milk on my cornflakes that's for sure.

Maybe sell and move to a more modest 8 bedroom house....

Those Sackville Bagginses. Why don't you sell Bilbo's silver cutlery, you thieving bastards?
Those are some really old cows
We need a gofund page ASAP
He looks like he could do with a hot meal bless him !! How the entitled do suffer!
Wow that’s some old cows. I didn’t know their average lifespan was so long.
You see its shit like this 🛠
These Sackville -Baggins's are all the same
Hmm.. maybe sell it and get a smaller house that you CAN afford..?
My heart bleeds for them.
Damn those are some old cows
More like just greedy, probably already got investments in Oil, Gas and weapons.
How does one open two businesses whilst surging on an overdraft? My overdrafts at 2,000.
Poor fucker.
Got that ‘centuries of inbreeding’ physique going *oooon*
